We will focus on these systems and explain how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Station control system architecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The automation of a railway station is structured in three technological levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Field level (sensors and actuators)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous devices are installed on the platforms and in public areas that allow you to know the status of the station in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>outdoor light sensors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>presence or motion sensors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>platform occupancy detectors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>astronomical clocks<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>electricity consumption meters<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>luminaire failure detectors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>weather sensors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sensors send information to the control systems to automatically adjust the lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Level of control (automatons and controllers)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The automation logic is executed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>programmable controllers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Industrial PLCs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DALI or KNX lighting controllers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>electrical panel controllers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These teams manage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>turning lights on and off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lighting level regulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>activation by schedule<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>activation by presence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>emergency lighting management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Level of supervision (SCADA \/ BMS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the station&#039;s systems are integrated into a centralized platform that allows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>view the lighting status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>detect faults<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>manually control the facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>analyze energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The control center can monitor&nbsp;<strong>multiple stations simultaneously<\/strong>, which facilitates maintenance and energy management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automation of platform lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Platform lighting is one of the most critical elements from a railway safety point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The systems installed in ADIF stations ensure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>minimum lighting levels for safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>visibility for travelers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>energy efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of luminaires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, most stations use&nbsp;<strong>high-efficiency LED luminaires<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These light fixtures offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>longer lifespan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lower energy consumption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>electronic intensity regulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>integration with digital control systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light fixtures are usually installed in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>awnings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lighting poles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>metal structures of the platform<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>roofs of covered stations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatic control by astronomical schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most widely used methods is control by means of&nbsp;<strong>astronomical clock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system automatically calculates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>dawn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>nightfall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on this data, the system activates or deactivates the lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method allows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>adapt the ignition to the seasons of the year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>avoid unnecessary operation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Control via light sensors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the astronomical clock, the following are installed:&nbsp;<strong>photocells or external light sensors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sensors detect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>changes in ambient luminosity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>meteorological conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cloudy days or storms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the level of natural light drops below a certain threshold, the system automatically activates the platform lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light intensity regulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In modern stations it is used&nbsp;<strong>dynamic lighting control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system can work at different levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>normal mode<\/strong>&nbsp;(daily operation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>low power mode<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>maximum illumination mode<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During off-peak hours, the intensity is reduced<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When a train arrives, the platform lighting increases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This regulation is carried out using digital control protocols such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>DALI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KNX<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>proprietary control systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integration with the railway operation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some stations, platform lighting is integrated with railway systems to improve safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">train arrival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the system detects the approach of a train:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The lighting level is increased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The platform edge lighting is being reinforced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">train departure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the train leaves, the system can return to a reduced lighting level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monitoring the status of luminaires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each lighting electrical panel has monitoring systems that allow you to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ignition status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>electricity consumption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lighting failures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>protection shots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This data is sent to the central system so that maintenance personnel can intervene quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows you to apply&nbsp;<strong>predictive maintenance<\/strong>, replacing light fixtures before massive failures occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stations must comply with strict safety regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the following systems are installed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>emergency lighting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>evacuation signage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>autonomous luminaires with batteries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case of power failure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The emergency lights activate automatically<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A minimum level of illumination is guaranteed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It facilitates the safe evacuation of travelers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Energy management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lighting automation also allows for optimized energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The systems monitor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>power consumed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>consumption by area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>operating hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this data, savings strategies can be implemented such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>night regulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>selective shutdown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>schedule optimization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many stations, the upgrade to LED technology has allowed&nbsp;<strong>consumption reductions greater than 50 %<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integration with other station systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lighting doesn&#039;t work in isolation. It integrates with other automated systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">public address system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When trains are announced, lighting can be reinforced in access areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">video surveillance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lighting levels are adjusted to ensure image quality in CCTV cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">evacuation systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">in case of emergency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>illuminated routes are activated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lighting of exits is increased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automating lighting in ADIF stations provides multiple advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1c7d8ac4 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-light is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ensures adequate visibility for passengers and railway staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-light is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">energy efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It reduces electricity consumption through intelligent control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-light is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">optimized maintenance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It allows you to detect faults before they affect operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group card-light is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">centralized management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It allows you to control several stations from a single center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These systems allow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>automatically adjust the lighting according to actual conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>integrate lighting with railway operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to ensure safety on the platforms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>optimize energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to this technological infrastructure, modern stations can operate in a&nbsp;<strong>secure, efficient and highly automated<\/strong>, improving both the traveler experience and the energy sustainability of the rail network.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estaciones Ferroviarias (ADIF) de Cambrils, Hospitalet, Salou, Ar\u00e9valo, Oropesa, Illescas, Parla Norte y Joaquin Sorolla entre otras.&nbsp;&nbsp; La&nbsp;automatizaci\u00f3n de las estaciones ferroviarias de ADIF&nbsp;desde el punto de vista de las&nbsp;instalaciones del edificio y la iluminaci\u00f3n de andenes&nbsp;se basa en la implantaci\u00f3n de sistemas de&nbsp;gesti\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica centralizada (BMS \u2013 Building Management System)&nbsp;que permiten controlar de forma [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":249,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"template":"","class_list":["post-141","proyecto","type-proyecto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baumcontrol.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyecto\/141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baumcontrol.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyecto"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baumcontrol.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/proyecto"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baumcontrol.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baumcontrol.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
